Medgar Remembers: Commemorating the Tenth Anniversary of September 11th

On Monday, September 12th at 9:30 am, please join President William L. Pollard in the Bedford lobby as the College gathers to remember and reflect on the lives and the heroism of those lost on September 11th ten years past. President Pollard will convene a Moment of Silence in honor of the family members, friends, veterans, first responders, civil service workers, and many of the “unknown” who were taken from us that day.

The Moment of Silence will be followed by reflections from President Pollard and an opportunity for spoken remembrances by the campus family. Words of commemoration can be written on the 9/11 Canvas of Reflection , which will remain in the main lobby for students, faculty, staff and the community to inscribe their individual reflections for the remainder of the day. The Canvas will eventually be placed in the Library in a permanent location.

Freshman Year students and other enrolled students will be writing reflection papers on their memories of the 9/11 tragedy for placement in a commemorative booklet.

Let us join together in the morning and remain mindful to remember the fallen, the survivors, our loved ones, and our heroes throughout the day.
